Episode 042: Dan Caruso, Chairman & CEO, Zayo Group

00:00 / 00:18:59

This is one of 20 interviews recorded in a popup backroom studio at dojo4 during the 10th annual Boulder Startup Week. When it started in 2009, Boulder Startup Week was the first event of its kind, anywhere. Now, Startup Weeks are held around the world. It’s a great example of Boulder’s position on the leading edge of tech — and the future.

Our guest for Episode 42 is Dan Caruso, Chairman and CEO of Zayo Group, a leading global provider of Communications Infrastructure and a major supporter of the Front Range tech and startup community.

In our short conversation, Dan:

gives me a quick tutorial on communications infrastructure
tells us why, in the early days of the tech age, big players like Level 3 chose to locate their headquarters on the Front Range
explains why ever-faster connectivity has more important applications than simply enjoying a better gaming or Netflix experience
speaks with obvious passion about why Zayo Group loves to invest in the local community

Follow Dan on Twitter @DanCaruso.

Episode #42 of the Boulder Tech Podcast is presented by Boulder StartUp Week Accelerator track sponsor, UpRamp.
